The Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW) has had quite a bit of attention lately, emerging as a favorite among institutional investors, with 71% ownership. Despite the stock's inconsistency and recent 9% drop, SCHW met Q2 earnings estimates and showed promising signs of resilience. Some find it a worthy investment bet, especially as a blue-chip stock under $100. However, insider selling caused some concern, resulting in a bearish call as the company vowed to shrink over time. The company's stock has seen periods of steady performance, even outperforming the market at times. Its balance sheet improvement scares investors, while persisting cash headwinds are of concern. Despite some divergence like insider sells, SCHW maintains robust financial muscle, which managed to shrug off billions of unrealized bank losses. Schwab has also declared dividends for common and preferred stocks, lining up with EPS projections and reports of record client assets. Even with the stock's overall volatility, optimism for the stock is on the rise due to its organic growth strategy, reaffirmed by Baron Partners Fund. While Q2 results trailed S&P 500 by 8% YTD and showed flat earnings growth, expectations for a robust Q3 remain.
